And the worst mom ever award goes to...

This week I am sure I am at least in the running for the worst mom ever award, and I don't even have a kid yet! I asked my yoga teacher if she knew anything I could do about the round ligament pain I've been having. Her response was that Calcium and Magnesium help a lot with cramping, and perhaps my prenatal vitamins don't have enough and I should add a supplement or switch prenatal vitamins.

Oops. Prenatal vitamins. I knew I was forgetting something! It's probably been 2 months since I last remembered to take one, and I'm supposed to take SIX a day! Gulp. Well starting today I'm back on track, please feel free to remind me every time I see/talk/chat/email you. In my opinion, it is a really bad design that being pregnant also makes you forgetful and scatterbrained!

6 a day??? What? Is there something I'm missing (maybe I'M the worst mom ever...) because I've NEVER taken 6 a day...

If it makes you feel any better, you'll have lots of time for way worse mom moments. :). The other week when Peter had the stomach flu he threw up on the kitchen floor and then wanted to splash in it. While I cleaned it up he got into the bathroom, threw his toy in the toilet, and then dipped toilet paper in the toilet. I found him sucking on it a minute later. YUCK!!!

And I'm with Calia - 6? Really? Don't worry. Your baby is fine.

Well, I am taking the 6 a day kind because taking the 1 a day kind made me throw up. This is the same amount of vitamin stuff but spread out into 6 pills. My goal is to get back to 3 a day at least :)

Yuck on the sucking toilet paper! But the dog I grew up with drank out of the toilet for years and never complained (although, in hindsight this was also super disgusting).
